RANDALL "BIG DADDY" WEBSTER'S ministry of Blues reaches deep into the collective soul. He's an accomplished singer-songwriter penning tunes for both himself and artists around the world. There’s an undeniable musical connection between Webster’s Blues and his audience. Says Big Daddy; “The tradition of playing music from the soul (Ceol Dan Anum in Irish) is much the same overseas as it is here in America and people really tap into that. It's all about reaching people’s primal core with music.” Big Daddy has spread his ministry of Blues across the USA and overseas fifty-five (55) times to twenty-eight (28) countries, performing solo/duo acoustic with "Big Daddy's Blues Stories," with his 7-piece band "Big Daddy & Red Hot Java," and through his music education program "Blues From The Inside Out: An Introspection Of Blues."

The CHICAGO BLUES ANNUAL says, “Randall ‘Big Daddy’ Webster has lived and breathed the Blues for over 25 years; first soaking it in as a wild child while growing up in the shadow of the Windy City (Chicago) during the 1960’s and 70’s; later swimming the undercurrent of ‘Deep River Blues’ while jamming with Bluesmen at the confluence of the Mississippi and the Ohio waterways during the 80’s; and for the last twenty-five plus years he’s tread through the swamp Blues of Florida’s backwoods jook joints making the gators growl along the way. He’s a true champion of America’s great indigenous music. The influences cut sharp, the tunes run deep, and the spirit held high when Randall ‘Big Daddy’ Webster stirs up his spicy gumbo of original home cooked Blues peppered with Soul and Jazz. Trusting his four-octave voice, pulsing rhythm guitar, and beating foot makes it all simmer into a fine Blues brew!” Big Daddy has opened for and shared the stage with B.B. King, Robert Cray, Bobby Rush, Keb Mo, Sam Lay, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, and many other Blues legends. And he’s opened for Rock and Pop legends such as the Doobie Brothers, Huey Lewis & The News, and Kool & The Gang. Ever evolving as an artist, Big Daddy soaks in these influences and they seep out through his music.
